Felonies and Other Love Languages

Adrien Agreste: rich, lonely, freshly aware of the fact that he's expected to take over not a fashion, but a drug empire. Marinette Dupain-Cheng: broke, angry, freshly aware of the fact that bringing down drug empires is a blast. But where would she be without her team, Alya and Nino, and her very good friend, Luka? Not to mention the team’s newest addition, the kind, the funny, the ultra charming Chat Noir. If Marinette likes him, that’s alright, though. It isn’t like she’s dating Adrien Agreste for real. It’s all just part of her ten-step plan to make the Agrestes meet their demise.

Chapter 3 - Pandora’s Box (12,708 words, 3/32 chapters)

Adrien would like to walk along the edge of the curb with his arms outstretched. Like he used to when his mother was there, her palm hovering a breath away from his, ready to catch him anytime.

Instead, he scurries between patches of light on the crushed stone path of Place des Vosges. He doesn't understand why being late fazes him.

He shouldn’t even be here.

He should be up at the office, checking the CCTV footage with Kim to notify the police about the break-in. Or he should be at dinner, informing his father about today’s mishap. He shouldn’t be sneaking out under the disguise of meeting Chloé for drinks. And he definitely shouldn’t, under any circumstances, be searching for Carapace’s hooded figure in the shadows of the park.

In his head, Adrien knows that. But he follows his heart. And his heart rounds a corner with a leap, only to come to a halt in front of a well-lit fountain.

“I thought you wouldn’t come,” Carapace says, his eyes shining brightly over his green facemask. He has his arms crossed over his chest in what seems to be a futile attempt at keeping himself warm in the spring chill, dressed in nothing but a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-shirt.

Adrien doesn’t hold back his grin. With his own mask in place, it’s not like Carapace can see it. “You know what they say about curiosity and the cat.”

It’s a stupid joke, but if he made up a cat-themed persona for himself, he intends to commit to the bit. Plagg would surely be proud of him. (Even if, realistically speaking, Adrien knows that house cats, much like fathers, are never actually proud. Still, he likes to pretend that what they share is special and goes beyond owning a Blue Ribbon pedigree.)

“You expect you’re walking into your doom and still show up? Admirable,” Carapace chuckles, unaware of the truth those words actually hold. “Now come on, the others are waiting for us. I promise we don’t bite.” He starts on one of the paths leading out of the park, muttering under his nose, “Well, most of us.”

Adrien decides he doesn't actually want to know what Carapace means by that. In his hurry to catch up, the gravel almost slips out from under Adrien’s sneakers, but by some miracle—or years and years of athletic training—he keeps himself upright. “What did you say, who are these people we are meeting?”

The light of a street lamp glinting in Carapace’s glasses as he spares Adrien a glance. “I didn’t.”

It’s more than fair to receive the same non-answer to his question as Adrien had given earlier that day. Still, his chuckle is nervous. He fights the fidgety feeling that urges him to double check that the GPS on his phone is switched on.

“Don’t stress about it, they are friends,” Carapace adds in a softer tone as they exit the park on the northern side and stop in the shadow of the arcades. “We’re almost there, so I’ll have to ask you to put this on,” he says, handing Adrien a baby blue knitted scarf.

“There’s a dress code? This place must be really fancy,” Adrien laughs as he takes the piece of fabric and wraps it around his neck.

Carapace blinks at him, twice, before a chuckle leaves him too. “No, it’s— It’s for your eyes, actually. Just a precaution until we know we can trust you.”

Thank god it’s pitch dark and he can’t see the way Adrien flushes.

“Yeah, I— I knew that. Obviously!”

With much more reluctant motions, he re-ties the scarf around his eyes. He had considered swapping his contacts for glasses—for the sake of an even less Adrien Agreste™-looking disguise—but now he’s glad he’d dropped the idea. Blindfolding himself with them on would be a pain. Actually, merely existing with glasses and a facemask on is a pain, as Adrien was forced to discover this afternoon after much experimenting with the concept.

So, contacts, and anxiety over being only fashionably late it was.

“Sorry, it’s part of the protocol. Let me spin you right round here for a second,” Carapace says, his voice lighthearted. He grabs Adrien by the shoulders and turns him around a few times, until he has no idea what is up and what is down. “Thank you for choosing the Rena Rouge entertainment park, we hope you had a good time,” he says, in the worst imitation of a carnival pitchman.

Still, it somewhat eases the knot in Adrien’s stomach that’s as tight as Nathalie’s hairdo on any given day.

“And now, this way. We’re almost there,” Carapace says, grabbing his upper arm and guiding him forward.

The irony of their first meeting going almost exactly like this—only with their roles reversed—isn’t lost on Adrien, but at this point, he just follows the instructions. He's pretty good at that.

Losing his sight serves to draw his attention to his other senses. He’s acutely aware of the silence stretching between them, the noises of cars and buzzing electric advertisements on shops’ façades.

The pavement under his feet takes a sharp turn, and the city’s noises melt into the background, signalling their approaching arrival. Adrien can’t decide if that or his still spinning head is the reason he feels like he’s going to throw up his supper.

“Who is Rena Rouge?” he asks, despite his nausea.

The beam is evident in Carapace’s voice, even over the sound of a door opening and closing behind them. “Oh, Rena Rouge? Just the most amazing, passionate, talented girl in the whole wide world, who, coincidentally, also makes the best colombo.”

"Your girlfriend?" Adrien guesses.

"For the time being," a cheeky voice slices through the vanilla and pastry-flavoured air.

Carapace comes to a sudden halt. "Hey, what‘s that supposed to mean?"

"Well,” presumably-Rena Rouge says, “we are getting married sometime in the future, aren't we?"

"That's like, the worst way to put that, babe," he argues but laughs along nevertheless.

There’s another giggle, one that eases the trembling of Adrien’s stomach. "Um, guys. The plan."

"Right, the plan!" Rena Rouge confirms, as if she has completely forgotten they are, indeed, in the middle of something that is starting to feel suspiciously like a hostage situation.

Adrien, who at this point would really like to see his surroundings, shifts on his feet. "So, what's the plan?"

Suddenly, someone removes his scarf, two bluebell eyes staring into his soul. "You are the plan, Chat Noir!"

[artzychic27]

For the Actor AU, how did they feel abt the canon heroes' outfits? If they could, how would they have modified them?

Marinette: Basic as fuck! It looks like I’m wearing footie pajamas! If I were in charge of my costume, I’d give myself a full-on punk look because Ladybug’s are some badass motherfuckers. Oh, and boots that have soles equipped with a shock-absorbing cushion, and a heel that contains a reinforced spring to soften the shock whenever I land. And… Maybe a backpack shaped like ladybug wings to hold my Lucky Charms and anything I need to collect for my plan.

Adrien: Less leather! That stuff shrinks, and a full leather bodysuit is not comfortable. Also, because of the cat holders’ powers, it would be cool if heroes had some sort of medical supplies on them just in case, like stored in a utility belt. And I’m with Mari, those boots sound badass. What else?… Oh, definitely add some more color instead of just basic black.

Alya: Well, the Fox doesn’t seem like a combative hero due to the powers. I see Rena Rouge as a distraction, really, so her outfit wouldn’t be one of those “ready for battle” types. Here’s what I’m thinking, one of those noir-film type outfits. The hat covers my face a bit to give me an air of mystery, and the outfit would look almost casual that no villain would suspect me.

Nino: I mean… Carapace’s look is cool. It’s alright. I’m liking the goggles, but… I’d prefer if he had armor. He’s the fucking turtle hero! He should be ready to take any blow that a villain sends his way!

Rose: Where to begin? Look, you all know me; I love pink more than the next guy, but… Sometimes too much is too much. The Pig Miraculous strikes me as… More farmhand than ballerina. Yee, I know, the heroes come with a tambourine, but come on! While I do love the skirt, I’d trade it in for overalls, either shorts or a skirt. Oh, and add some black in there, too. Daizzi has a black circle around his eye, let him be represented!

Juleka: Studded jacket. That is all.

Luka: Oh, honey, either give me a hood so I can look like a cobra or get the fuck away from me with that outfit.

Myléne: The mouse strikes me as more of the elegant type, I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s the pastel pink mixed with the grey, but I see Polymouse wearing skirts over Pigella. But, that’s just my opinion.

Ivan: Honestly, I’m fine with the canon design for Minotaurox. Yeah, he’s got pockets and padding, I-I like it. And if you show me a better design, I’ll happily take a look at it.

Marc: … I think all of the effort went into making Rooster Bold’s costume. He’s got rooster hair, the little tallons on the back of his boots, and a fucking tailcoat! He and Mayura are the only ones to have tailcoats! I’m not complaining, though. I… I actually like it, but it is a nightmare putting on and taking off that wig.

Nathaniel: Well, I can say I sort of know how some of the girls feel, because that suit was tight as hell! You could see my hip dip! Also, I would’ve liked to have a different hairstyle and maybe some color, because I am the only male redhead around for miles. Oh, and climbing boots becuase, I’m a goat, duh.

Alix: … Do I need to say it? Okay, give me some active wear! I’m traveling through a shit ton of different timelines! I need someone sporty and active when I’m on the go. Also, I’ll need a backpack like Marinette.

Kim: Not hearing any complaints from me! I liked Roi Singe, but being Scarlet Beetle is way cooler!

Max: The glasses can easily come off. What I need is a high collar or a bandana that can cover the lower half of my face in case my glasses become askew or someone is able to place my identity because all I have on my face are some stupid glasses! God, I’m so glad I’m doing this new show now.

Chloé: Oh, I just want wings.

Zoé: Same.

Sabrina: Can mine just not look like my clothes, please?! I’ll take whatever, just not that!

Kagami: I would prefer if I had some form of armor and not a spandex bodysuit. It would need to be lightweight but also durable to allow me to travel faster, of course.

Rewriting a different version of MLB

Disclaimer: I'm not a writer, much less a screenwriter, I'm just someone who enjoys writing and analyzing cartoons.

Oh and sorry for my grammar, as English is not my first language.

My (and I think yours too) relationship with the series is ‘’particular’’.

I remember when I first saw this series when its first season aired and fell in love with it: although the plot was episodic, there were moments that gave the semblance of a plot that was hidden under our noses.

Season 2 arrived, and my interest increased, mostly because certain characters were starting to move in interesting directions (Gabriel and Nathalie with their secret plan to bring Emilie back to life, Chloé showing signs of changing and maturing, the appearance of the new heroes …).

And then the last three seasons came.

Well, I quit the show at the end of Season 3 as I felt the writers and Astruc didn’t value my intelligence and my time was being wasted, but still tended to keep up with the 'plot' via various social media posts.

With the end of the fifth season, I would like to try to rewrite the story with my ideas and with what I would have liked to see, and if so, it would be interesting to know your opinions and what you would have changed .

Let's begin.

-Worldbuilding:

We know that the Miraculouses are magical jewels that allow humans to use certain powers thanks to the Kwami.

In ‘’the Origins’’ they make us understand that almost no one knew of the Kwami and that such abilities were unknown.

Superheroes aren’t the norm.

Like, Majestia is presented not as a living, breathing person, but like a comic book.

…But in the New York special we are told that superheroes are a very common thing? And that you can give superpowers very easily? And Majestia exists? Then why be scared if you have these people in your daily life?

So what is so special about Miraculous? Can the abilities of those who are actually gods really be recreated by people in costumes?

In the first and second seasons they showed us a planet Earth from the year 2014, with all the technologies also present in our world. How the heck is it possible that in what would be 9 months in canon you had practically 9 years of technological development in real life? When I watch a show, I have to know right away what is considered 'normal' and what is 'special', because otherwise I don't distinguish what should scare me and what shouldn't.

Why rely on two teenagers in a suit to fight Hawkmoth when I can call America's heroes? Or use something high-tech that allows me to locate the bad guy in 5 minutes?

Establishing rules and limitations is essential in a magical system.

What would I have done?

Here, only the Miraculous should make you a superhero and, if you really want to insert sci-fi elements, make sure that only Gabriel is in possession of such technologies, and that this is not known to the public.

-The magic system:

Setting precise limits on the powers of heroes and villains ensures that when they have to get out of seemingly impossible situations, they appear brilliant.

And that's why, in my opinion, the series should have focused on the first seven Miraculous we've seen: the ladybug, the black cat, the butterfly, the peacock, the turtle, the bee and the fox.

If you add too many powers, the viewer’s attention gets scattered.

If you add too many superheroes, you have too many characters to handle.

The roles of the protagonists, co-protagonists and of the antagonists must be immediately clear enough so the viewer is not confused on who’s important and who’s not.

Among other things, every Miraculous must have precise and clear powers from the very beginning (I'm looking at you, Miraculous of the rooster).

How I would have handle them:

-Ladybug: Creation. It can purify the akumas but cannot destroy the akumatized item. It repairs everything that was destroyed by using the Lucky Charm (I honestly prefer how it was used in the movie).

-Black cat: Destruction. It can destroy the akumatized item using the cataclysm (so that both heroes are crucial in the battle and not just Ladybug).

-Butterfly: Transmission. It can give ordinary people superpowers, but not abilities of other Miraculous (For example, you cannot create another Chat Noir like in ''Copycat'' or give powers like those of Volpina, which faithfully copies the fox Miraculous, also because it would make her stronger than the Miraculous itself as she can use it infinitely.)

-Peacock. Here, technically the power is called 'Emotion', but on a practical level, it is a mix between Creation and Transmission. Either you totally change the power and make it something related to pure empathy, or you tie it to the creation of animate but non-sentient objects (so that it remains distinct from the Creation of Ladybug, and that it doesn't allow you to create ''human beings'' and not fall into all the unnecessary questions like ‘Are senti-beings humans?’’. Are you telling me that Gabriel and Nathelie actually killed a human on-screen when they made Senti-Ladybug disappear?)

Regarding this, if you really want to link Adrien's birth to the Miraculous of the Peacock and to Emilie's death, you can invent an excuse like that maybe (I’m inventing something) a newborn Adrien was dying and to save him Emilie used her own power too much, damaging the Miraculous and killing herself, thus making Adrien a semi "senti-being" without being mind-controlled by an Amok or by the holder of the Peacock Miraculous.

-Fox: Illusion. Maybe you can also tie it to the concept of deception and lies. Since Alya wants to be a reporter and she likes the world of journalism, it would be nice if she's the one who can find lies more easily.

-Turtle. Protection. It is also the Miraculous of longevity, so perhaps the wearer could be the one who takes the least damage when hit or they’re the one who has the most stamina. Or that the Miraculous guarantees you a longer life, as in the case of Master Fu.

-Bee: Action. In short, to paralyze someone. Honestly, I would also give it the power to force someone to perform a single action for you, If you want to joke about the fact that Chloè is a ''Queen Bee''.

Now, it's not that the other Miraculouses don't exist, they can be mentioned during the story, but since the two most important and the strongest ones are in Paris, Gabriel shouldn't be interested in others of lesser value.

In this version there would still be an order of the guardians, but I would make Fu a more responsible character and an actual mentor.

Let’s talk about:

-The Characters:

The protagonists are Marinette and Adrien, and they must be treated as equals.

You can focus the attention on Marinette, but that doesn't mean you have to treat your male protagonist like his personal doormat.

Let your protagonists have flaws that make them human!

I want a Marinette who is actually insecure, who has a real difficulty balancing her duties as the masked heroine with being a normal girl with a normal life.

Maybe that polka dot mask gives her the opportunity to experiment and find self-confidence that she doesn't have as a civilian (a bit like in the movie).

Let Adrien be a naive boy to the outside world without making him stupid. Naivety and stupidity are two different things.

If in the everyday life Adrien feels the pressure of having to be the perfect son of the great Gabriel Agreste, as a masked superhero he can be the imperfect prankster who wants to discover the world and himself.

I think the love square should remain almost unchanged, but the Marichat must certainly take on a more predominant role: Marinette must appreciate the mask, the part that Adrien never shows except when he is transformed, while Chat Noir must appreciate Marinette's insecurities and fragility , and advise her on how to act accordingly. Perhaps Chat Noir, noticing Marinette's fashion projects, could offer her some advices that he noticed from his father.

If the Marichat would develop in precise moments of the day (Maybe after an akuma attack, and as in those few times it was shown to us in the cartoon, during the evening), the Ladynoir and the Adrienette are those more ''daily'' relationships: Adrienette at school or when hanging out with their friend group, Ladynoir while they are at work.

Ladien would only develop as the reflection of the latter two.

The only thing I might have no idea how to manage are Luka and Kagami: at this point, they could be two characters that the two protagonists like, either because in a moment of crisis between these two, or because they offer the two protagonists different perspectives: Luka, with his calmness and kindness helps Marinette to deal with her anxiety (by the way, I would have loved to see Luka teach Marinette how to play the guitar, it's a very nice trope you know), while Kagami would have encouraged Adrien to break free from his father's control (like how she wants to become independent from Tomoe).

Honestly, I would also avoid Kagami (and Felix) having to deal with being senti-beings, there is no need to complicate things.

Moving on to the co-protagonists: Alya, Nino and Chloè.

While at the beginning Chloè will be as the one from the first season (a spoiled and unpleasant brat), Alya and Nino would be those friends who back up the protagonists and then become permanent heroes when they are given the Miraculous (for me, Marinette and Alya should know about each other being Ladybug and Rena Rouge, while Adrien and Nino know they are Chat Noir and Carapace).

Gradually a solid group of friends would be created and where they can count on each other, just like in the first and in the second season.

And Chloè? Well, since a 14-year-old can change (Right, Astruc?), her evolution would be gradual until she becomes a stable member of the friend group. She is Adrien's childhood friend, and he will be the one who will help her to become a better person. And her admiration for Ladybug will make her understand the importance of her responsibilities (Like at the end of the second season, before Astruc ruined her because for some reason he hates blondes.)

And even if she reveals that she is Queen Bee to prove her worth to her mother, she can always create a new identity for herself. Don't tell me he can't do it, Chat Noir does it in ''Cat-Walker'' and it worked.

The one who keeps the group together would be Nino, with his chill personality, but that still doesn't let himself be fooled by someone else: he would be the one who calms the situation in case Chloè, Marinette and Alya start arguing or if Adrien doesn’t have the courage to let his voice get heard.

Each character in the group will obviously have their own individual passions that could actually help them defeat Hawkmoth: for example, Alya could be the one who carries out the investigations to discover the identity of the villain.

In terms of passions, some are already more obvious: Marinette as a fashion designer, Alya as a journalist, Nino as a DJ (ok, but how cool would it have been to see Nino help Alya with the music and organization of her Ladyblog? It would have been adorable).

Chloe and Adrien? Well, I'm going to make something up here, still linking it to the main series.

Chloè at first wanted to become like her mother, a stylist, only to then realize that she was more cut in the leadership position (as a ''Queen Bee'').

A Chloè who aspires to become mayor of Paris (like her father, but less corrupt, or like in the fifth season), but competent and mature. Of course, she would be mayor as an adult (The writers of the series may not know that Parisians will burn your city down if they don't like you).

Also, come on, Chloè would totally have a secret cove built up, like Batman. She may have changed here, but she’s still a diva.

Adrien is more of a special case.

I'm going to pick up on the 'Wishmaker' concept where he doesn't know what he wants to be as an adult, and only wants to please his parents. This would mean that Adrien has not found an identity yet.

Perhaps, with his friends, he will find one that will detach him from Gabriel.

Side note, imagine if he became a pastry chef? Adrien joins Marinette's family, carrying on the family business, while Marinette enters the world of the Agreste family and Parisian high fashion world.

Master Fu will obviously be the guardian of the Miraculouses and the mentor of both Ladybug and Chat Noir. In this version of the series we will actually see lessons where Fu teaches the kids the history of the Miraculous, their powers, how to control their emotions and, above all, how to trust each other.

Seeing that he was like a teacher for the two protagonists, it would certainly make his departure more painful for both, and would alarm all the heroes towards the two main antagonists: Hawkmoth and Mayura.

Gabriel must actually be a sympathetic antagonist: in the series he almost seems to forget that he does everything for his son (Gorizzilla's Gabriel and Chat Blanc's Gabriel are completely different, let's be honest).

Gabriel obviously has to act in the shadows, but when he realizes that he can't do this alone, he will involve Nathalie more, until she becomes Mayura (even if, on this, Gabriel does not agree , as this would lead her to her death).

Nathalie, even if in love with Gabriel, would bring Emilie back to life just to see him happy, even if that would mean losing the only chance she has with Gabriel. But, since she will then realize that what they are doing is profoundly wrong towards Adrien (who in the meantime has moved on) and towards the whole world (the desire would destabilize the cosmic balance), first she try to make him change his mind and then to stop him with a fight which she would then lose as she was too weak due to the peacock Miraculous.

When Nathalie becomes too sick, We’ll see Lila (or whatever her name is) again, who will have distinguished herself as she seems to be more aware and more willing to be "manipulated". Lila, of course, would be ready to betray Gabriel at the right moment, as for her, being a narcissist and a pathological liar, she is only interested in power and adoration.

I know it's not perfect, but these are my thoughts on a possible rewriting of the series.

I would appreciate other advices and, above all, opinions and criticisms.

[marinetteplztakeabreak]

The thing is, they could just, so easily give nino the black cat miraculous right now.

In earlier seasons, the fact that he couldn’t keep his identity a secret COULD have caused issues maybe.

But at this point, he is ALREADY encouraging all of his loved ones to run straight at akumas . because he has realized that’s the most effective way to deal with them.

He is already constantly in the line of fire. He’s already in the midst of every single fight.

Like “if someone knew he was chat noir they could threaten his loved ones” is a moot point when his loved ones are already Right by his side always taking turns being on guard for akumas.

You cannot threaten him in a way that counts. Gabriel agreste is dead and chloé’s been banished from the country.

And anyway if adrien ever needed a break he could literally just publically announce “hey, nino’s chat noir for now . Im putting him in charge. Listen to him” and nino wouldnt even need the ring . 

I think if lila was smart she would just resign immediately upon hearing that announcement.

She can fight against adrien, a fellow star actor with manipulation skills and anger issues and the power to kill. But she cannot win a fight against nino. He’s too filled with joy and love and determination .

And the only thing holding nino back is societal convention (when ladybug and chat noir didnt ask for his help yet so he is politely giving them some space to handle this).

Anyway!! What i’m saying is. he’s now the permanent turtle holder . and can show up whenever he wants. Just saying <3

supervillains had better watch themselves xoxo

[miraculousdeservesbetter2024]

... Sabrina Raincomprix?

She deserves something that makes her happy because of all the things (Chloé & Lila) she's dealing in this season.

@generalluxun

✨ Oh, she most certainly does OP 😌 ✨

I’m excluding Miss Hound.

Bee - Andrena or Miss Goldie. Back in the good old days of Miraculous, I preferred for Sabrina to get the bee miraculous rather than Chloe. Why? Well, I wanted a Sabrina redemption, Chloe was a bully who probably wasn’t responsible enough to have a miraculous, and Sabrina just simply looked good in yellow (amber/orange and yellow SO DO look good together!). If Chloe can’t have the bee, then I would much preferred it if Sabrina did rather than Chloe’s random step sister who came out of nowhere. (sorry Zoe…).

Turtle - Emerald, Opal or Aqua. Sabrina has a strong will to protect and look out for people, as seen with Chloe and even Lila at some point. I really believe that if she wasn’t restricted to Chloe, she probably would help more. I think she wouldn’t be BAD with the turtle.

Fox - Ruby Vixen. Sabrina’s sneaky, cunning, orange, knows how to be “invisible”. What else can I say?

Mouse - Miss Squeak. Cute little bean, with a high pitched voice 😊 I think she would also look cute in pink too.

Ladybug - Lady Luck. A LOT of people might disagree, but to me Sabrina tends to be another Marinette pre-series, just lacks more of a backbone.

CLASS OF HEROES AU: SIDEKICKS

Here’s a bonus post for today, I guess! I finished this two days ago and completely forgot to post it! I added the new characters and decided to post it today! Enjoy, and as always, credit to @imsparky2002 and @artzychic27!

Marinette:

Plagg-Mushu: A snarky feline ‘guardian spirit’ who accompanied Marinette to the school in order to ‘guide’ her in becoming a worthy warrior. His real goal may be to regain his standing as a guardian, but he cares about the kid a lot.

Tikki-Cri Kee: Marinette’s ‘lucky cricket’, gifted to her by her Grandmother before going to the school. She may not be able to talk, but she still manages to keep Plagg in line and help guide Marinette.

Kaalki-Khan: Marinette’s loyal horse. Fiercely protective of the girl, but a bit pompous and gets annoyed easily, as evidenced by her tendency to trample Plagg over the head.

Adrien:

Sass-Pascal: Adrien’s beloved pet snake, who got into the tower when he was a child. Sass can change his scale color as he needs, so Gabriel never found him. He comes with Adrien to the school and often hangs about on his shoulders.

Max:

Markov-Baymax: Max’s constant companion, a large, blue pillow-like robot with artificial intelligence, he was designed by Max’s late cousin who he saw as a brother, though Max was the one who built him. He is kind and gentle, his primary purpose being to tend to the sick and wounded, but don’t underestimate him. He also has some impressive fight programming.

Kim:

Xuppu-Pegasus: Kim’s winged horse, gifted to him as a baby, that has a tendency to act more like a monkey at times. He’s much more mischievous than Pegasus and has a tendency to mess with his nitwit of a demigod. He’s fiercely loyal to Kim, though, and would do anything to protect him. He loves Ondine and often competes with Kim for her attention.

Alix:

Jalil-Abu: (Yes, I made him a monkey, what of it?): Alix’s dimwitted primate companion, named after her brother, who died when she was young. Fanatical and impulsive, he’s gotten Alix into quite a bit of trouble when he can’t contain his curiosity.

Ivan:

Stompp-Hugo: A gargoyle that resembles an ox, Stompp is hot-tempered and encourages Ivan to stand up and strike back against his bullies. He can be a bit much, but he cares a lot about Ivan.

Pollen-Victor: An insect-like gargoyle with a love of drama and romance. Encourages Ivan in romancing Mylene, gushing over the two at any possible opportunity.

Wayzz-Laverne: A turtle-esque gargoyle, and the oldest and wisest of the three. Ivan goes to him for advice or just someone to vent to. Kind and caring, he supports the boy in every way he can.

Zoe:

Mullo-Jaq: Zoe’s most frequent mouse companion, and the leader of the bunch. The one who organizes all the other mice with plans to help their ‘ZoZo’. Sassy and spirited, he loves messing with Chloé as retribution for how she treats his friend.

Fluff-Gus: A pygmy rabbit, she serves as Mullo’s right hand in helping Zoe. As absentminded and spacey as she may be, she loves Zoe as much as the other mice and does all she can to help her.

Sabrina:

Nooroo-Jiminy Cricket: A small anthropomorphic butterfly spirit, assigned by Aurore to serve as Sabrina’s conscience. Unlike Jiminy, he has experience, and is kind and patient with the girl, but firm when he needs to be to help her be the best person she can be.

Ondine:

Duusu-Scuttle: A seagull with bright splotches of color in his feathers, Ondine gets most of her (incorrect) information about the surface world from him. He may not know as much as he thinks he does, but he cares about her deeply and does his best to keep her safe.

Kagami:

Longg-Angus: Kagami’s massive shire horse, and her primary means of transport. While fiercely loyal to and protective of Kagami, he is generally quite calm and serves as a comforting presence for the girl.

Mireille:

Alec-Timon: A wisecracking meerkat who initially sees the young Mireille as a ticket to safety from predators. He grows to genuinely care for the girl and is by her side when she goes to take back the Pride Lands.

Theo- Puumba: A slow-witted but kindhearted warthog who suggests to Alec that they look after Mireille after she flees the Pride Lands. He encourages her to go to the school when she receives an invitation, thinking it could be good for her to meet new people.

Austin T.:

Roaar-Rajah(Obviously): Austin’s pet tiger, who was given to him as a child, she is fiercely protective of the boy, serving as both his transport and a cuddling buddy. It takes her a while to warm up to Jean.

Note: Jagged, Penny and Anarka are Lumiere, Cogsworth and Mrs. Potts respectively, they’ll be detailed in my upcoming post about family!

How many miraculous exist in tweos? It's there only the main four(plus karra) or the Chinese zodiac kwamis also exist in your au??

The Chinese zodiac box does exist, but only because Luka has the Snake. Marinette chooses to only use the snake because she thinks its ability is the most helpful (Its powers in this are more along the lines of stopping, slowing, and speeding up time), and neglects the others. She might use them for unifications here and there, but they're more like powerups to her.

Actually, on this topic: Luka only really got the Snake Miraculous because Marinette's first choice passed on it. Juleka is Marinette's childhood friend in this AU, and as Marinette prioritizes giving miraculouses to her best friends, Marinette offered it to her first. Juleka didn't want the responsibility, so she asked Marinette to give it to Luka instead. I might design Snake!Juleka in the future if you guys want me to.

Also, the fox, turtle, and bee, all still exist in this (though they get no screentime simply because the story isn't Marinette's anymore). Like in canon, the bee was given to Chloé, but instead of it being taken away from her, Chloé just quit on her own accord because she didn't realize how uncool and annoying being a superhero could be.

[kari-go]

Hi, your art is amazing, and I'm a little curious, with whom your characters will date? Everyone I mean.

Oh, and do you have any Miraculous for Ivan?

Aww, thank you!

Marinette will date Luka and Kagami, Nino will date Aurore, Kim will date Ondine and Ivan will date Mylene. Chris will date Lila for a while and then he'll date Stephan. And Chloé will probably date Juleka. Or Alya but I'm leaning more on Chloleka.

No, I'm not planning on it right now. Right now the only people who get miraculous are Marinette, Chris, Stephan, Chloé, and Lila who gets it once. If I had to give him one (from the ones that are/will be available to them) I'd give him the turtle.

[princess-of-the-corner]

Okay but, the recent Duchess Noire resurgence got me thinking about Cerise Wings again.

So I went through the tags, both of them ("cerise wings" and "cerise wings au"), and to recap, the core 5 heroes there are:

Sabrina with the Ladybug (the titular Cerise Wings).

Chloé with the Black Cat (another Duchess Noire scenario).

Adrien with the Fox (don't know if we ever came up with a name for him).

Marinette with the Turtle (ditto).

Aurore with the Bee (Golden Bee).

Rip to my tagging system

Adrien picks the name 'Silver Fox' and he uses the plausible deniability of "idk what you mean that's just the term for a melanistic fox!' while giving you the most shit-eating grin.

[ml-bot-fics]

Write a fic about Snake!Félix Graham de Vanily-Fathom and Turtle!Chloé Bourgeois

[artzychic27]

Blame @msweebyness’s post for this… I call this au Miraculopolis

@imsparky2002

Marinette: Goddess of Luck and Chance. Her symbols are ladybugs and clovers

Adrien: God of Family and Children. His symbols are domestic cats and carnations

Alya: Goddess of Messaging and Facts. Her symbols are spectacles and pigeons

Nino: God of Protection and Defense. His symbols are shields and turtles

Nathaniel: God of the Fine Arts and Inspiration. His symbols are paintbrushes and peacocks

Alix: Goddess of Time and Memory. Her symbols are clocks and rabbits

Juleka: Goddess of Serenity and Inner Beauty. Her symbols are mirrors and ravens

Rose: Goddess of Romance and Love. Her symbols are roses and doves

Sabrina: Goddess of Loyalty and Companionship. Her symbols are rings and wolves

Chloé: Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity. Her symbols are gold coins and bees

Kim: God of Sportsmanship and Victory. His symbols are palm branches and eagles

Max: God of Statistics and Possibilities. His symbols are abacuses and horses

Ivan: God of Poetry and Ballads. His symbols are quills and mice

Myléne: Goddess of Nature and Grains. Her symbols are cornucopias and bears

Marc: God of Literature and Epic Tales. His symbols are fountain pens and roosters

Aurore: Goddess of the Sun. Her symbols are parasols and lions

Mireille: Goddess of the Moon. Her symbols are wool and sheep

Reshma: Goddess of Craftmentship. Her symbols are a needle and thread and spiders

Ismael: God of Mischief. His symbols are apples and foxes

Lacey: Goddess of Siblinghood. Her symbols are rope and frogs

Jean: God of Theater and Entertainment. His symbols are comedy and tragedy masks, and songbirds

Cosette: Goddess of Masking and Adaption. Her symbols are a makeup pallet and chameleons

Zoé: Goddess of Rebellion. Her symbols are broken handcuffs and a tiger

Simon: God of Technology and Surveillance. His symbols are eye-shaped pendants and hawks

Denise: Goddex of Strength and Health. Their symbols are barbells and bulls

Luka: God of Music and Emotional health. His symbols are lyres and snakes

Kagami: Goddess of Combat. Her symbols are swords and dragons

Ondine: Goddess of the Sea. Her symbols are a trident and orcas

Different nations, different mythologies and deities

They’re all powerful deities, but they still act like teenagers, get crushes, drink a lot of wine, have wild parties up in the heavens, and crash mortal parties whenever they please

Being the goddess of Masking and Adaption, Cosette can shapeshift into any animal she pleases while the others only shapeshift into the animals they’re associated with

Cosette: Random animal exit! *Shapeshift into a shark and starts flopping around on the ground before shifting back and gasping for air* Random… Land animal exit! *Shapeshifts into an ostrich and walks away*

Zoé: Even as an ostrich, they’re still gorgeous.

Marc and Nathaniel have been crushing on each other for eons

Rose and Juleka have been girlfriends for centuries now. Juleka is not affected by Rose’s romance-inducing aura, and Rose is not affected by Juleka’s almost ethereal beauty. They just love each other

Adrien has almost this maternal instinct due to being the god of family and children, and as such, he adores mortal infants

A former member of the gods and goddesses of Miraculous is Lila, the goddess of deceit and trickery. Her symbols are jackals and masks. She still has her divine powers, but she’s not allowed back in the skyward abode of the gods and goddesses for a multitude of reasons, and has offended each of the others gods in some way

Also… She was just annoying as hell

*During an outing in the divine garden, long before Lila was banished, Myléne is telling the others about a new tree she had come up with. The others are listening intently when Lila suddenly interrupts*

Nino: Someone, make her stop!

*Nathaniel summons his paintbrush staff and slathers a bit of red paint over Lila’s mouth. It dries in an instant, and her words come out muffled*

Nino: *Sighs* Much butter.

Ismael possesses an object called The Golden Apple of Chaos. Basically, when he throws it, it causes some sort of havoc somewhere

He’s always tempting mortal children to cause a little chaos

Ismael: Just think of it, Manon. You, me. All the chaos. All the discord! ALL THE FREE CHICKEN!

Legend from both Miraculous and Prodigious mythology tells of a monster named Kiku, once a mortal man who wanted to become stronger. One night, he snuck into Kim, Denise, and Kagami’s temples, and stole one of Kim’s medals, one of Denise’s barbels, and one of Kagami’s swords. When they discovered this, the god, goddex, and goddess punished him by turning him into a monstrous bear-like creature. He had impenetrable skin and could tear through entire villages with his claws

One quirk about him is that whenever he gets flustered or excited, a peacock tail will fan out from behind him

A tale from mythology of Miraculous talks about how Nino developed feelings for Alya when she protected him and several mortals from a dangerous monster while they were visiting the mortal realm

Wherever Marinette steps, four-leaf clovers grow

When they arrive in the mortal realm, their entrances are all a sight to behold that you’ll wanna punch yourself if you miss them

According to Miraculous mythology, whenever Rose travels to the mortal realm, she descends from the sky in a flurry of rose petals. And when she lands on the ground, several doves appear at her side, and she emits a pink aura that causes people to momentarily fall in love with the first person they see

When Nathaniel comes to visit the mortal realm, the sky becomes an array of colors as his beautiful, iridescent chariot is drawn by several peacocks.

Reshma descends from the sky, performing aerial tricks using spider web silk. Her feet never touch the ground as a clutter of spiders carry her about, almost making it look like she’s gliding

Lore has it, that centuries ago, Denise nursed a young injured bull they named Aithen back to health, and infused him with some of their divine magic, helping him grow stronger over time until he was able to pull their heavy two ton chariot on his own

And, there is a tale stating that Simon won Denise’s heart after using his wits to vanquish a monster attacking the mortals

According to mythology, Lacey bestows blessings on mortal children and their siblings, helping to strengthen their bonds and know when their siblings are in need

While Lila may be the goddess of deceit and has done some terrible things over the centuries, she still has standards. As such, she refuses to ever interact with Lucien, the god of Onedience and Power, and Emani, the god of Manipulation, who were also ousted from their heavenly abodes

Max’s sacred object is his golden abacus, gifted to him by Kim. Centuries ago, Kim melted several of his prized golden medals to create it for him

During the annual Olympics hosted by the Miraculous, teams from different nations come to compete for glory. The gods and goddesses watch from the stands while disguised as humans or the animals they are associated with. Kim, meanwhile, is in his god form and loudly cheering for the team representing Miraculous

While Nathaniel is one of the kindest gods of Miraculous, but he also has a fiery temper. When provoked, he’ll fly into a rage, and even the other deities know to approach with caution

One way to piss him off is by claiming you’re a better artist than him. He’ll curse you so that any piece of art or art material you touch will turn into dust. *cough* Louis *cough*

Due to being the Prodigious god of not only Theater, but also Entertainment, whenever there’s a party happening in the mortal realm, Jean is known to make a grand appearance. This is usually when he feels as though the party’s reaches its peak. Guests are to be advised that whenever Jean attends a mortal party, it doesn’t stop unless he wants to stop. The longest was a week

Zoé, the Prodigious goddess of Rebellion is also known to frequent parties, usually ones thrown by teenagers who plan and attend it without their parents knowing. From the heavens, she descends using a charriot drawn by two majestic tigers. She describes parties such as that as, “Rebellion in its most premature form!”
